https://aws.amazon.com/outposts/

AWS Outposts is a fully managed service that offers the same AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any datacenter, co-location space, or on-premises facility for a truly consistent hybrid experience. AWS Outposts is ideal for workloads that require low latency access to on-premises systems, local data processing, data residency, and migration of applications with local system interdependencies.

AWS compute, storage, database, and other services run locally on Outposts, and you can access the full range of AWS services available in the Region to build, manage, and scale your on-premises applications using familiar AWS services and tools.

Outposts is available as a 42U rack that can scale from 1 rack to 96 racks to create pools of compute and storage capacity. Coming in 2021, Outposts will be available in two smaller form factors, 1U and 2U rack-mountable servers for locations with limited space or capacity requirements. More information on the smaller Outposts form factors is available here.
A VMware variant of AWS Outposts will also be available soon. VMware Cloud on AWS Outposts delivers a fully managed VMware Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) running on AWS Outposts infrastructure on premises.

No, this never could have happened at Cisco. Cisco employees aren't compensated to solve customer business problems. They're compensated to hawk the latest piece of hardware launched by the BUs and to sell expensive services that cost more than the value received by the customer.

That was the culture created by Chambers, and that culture was perpetuated when the Board named another sales guy to be the CEO.

as the previous poster stated, collaboration is not a Cisco strong suit. How many times have you been in a large meeting and spend a whole hour stuck on the first slide of a PowerPoint until someone finally gives in and says “let’s just take it offline”….

Cisco couldn’t pull off what Amazon has because Cisco couldn’t afford to buy them and claim it.

Cisco could never pull that off with all the infighting between BU’s.
